Missouri cr,p Report for September
ist.

Returns from every county in the
state show that the severe drouth has
I been broken in most sections of the
state by local showers and while no
general rain has fallen, many locali-
ties have had sufficient to revive
grass and make fair fall pasture.
Corn has fallen to,the low average
of 63: per cent, hut IS two points
better than for the same date last
year, or 61 per cent. The rains have
mostly fallen since August 20, and
come too late to materially affect
this crop, yet some late corn has
been benefited. ~
The yield of oats seems large.
Wheat Is also reported very high. j
am satisfied that the state has re-
ceiyed one of the largest wheat crops
raised for years. The return of
yields from the threshers makes GER
tain that Missouri has great wheat
crop.
1t may be well to state again that
the returns are the average of circu-
lar letters Of inquiry to 1850 men
whose results do not feel at liberty
to change. This report is made up
of returns from every county.
Total yield of wheat based on an
acreage of ,662, 1928 acres, 2S,266,-
257 bushels.
Total yield of oats based on an
acreage of 1,275, ,3s9 acres, 32,725,-
531 bushels.
Fall blowing has been retarded by
dry weather and comparatively little
ground has been broken.
But few cases of hog cholera have
been reported, and stock of all kinds
has done remarkably well consider
ing the excessive heat and parched
condition of pastures.
Average temperature for August
at Columbia, 80 degrees. Rain fall
for the month, 2:13 inches.

are both scutely congested, the parts
in the vicinity of the growth being

cal swelling has caused some difficulty
in swallowing, but il is hoped that this
will coon disappear. The case at pres

require it for several weeks. In the
meantime surgical operations on the
Princes throat will be suspend

LoNDoN, June 29.-Cardinsl Man

sgainst its circulation OF the statement
from Rome that the Irish mission OF
Mgr. Persico and Mgr. Gualdi had
been revoked at the instance of Cardi-
nal Manning and Archbishop Walsh,

two as active promoters OF sepsratist

them, who we'll know my mind, to an
swer !os noe, and l, who know the
mind Of Archbishop Walsh, will an
swer fer him. We are neither in
triRuers or separatists."
In conclusion the Cardinal says:
~ have written with unusual warmth.
/ confess that hold that resentment
lis sometimes a duty, and this is such
a time, when your words touch our
highest responsibility and iufiame
more and more the heated contention
between two peoples whom justice and
truth would still bind In peace and
unity. ask you, sir, as an act Of
justice, to give this a prominent place
In the Times, as you have unwarily
given to the unhappy imputations."
The Times, in an editorial, Excuses
the first charge which Cardinal Man
nine complains OF by saying that it
has simply reproduced Reuter- rele-
gram Company's dispatch from Rome.
II assures the Cardinal that it has no
desire to meet the other charges by
either gloss or evasion. Itwould judge
Archbishop Walsh by his own written
and spoken words. He was, in very
strict sense OF the word, q separstist.
1t was sorry If it had wrongly been led
to believe that Cardinal Manning was
warm supporter Of Mr.. Gladstone's
separatist policy, but il the facts we're
